Didn't watch the opening ceremony of the Olympics. Apart from being completely on the other side of the world from London in the worst time zone possible to see it, it doesn't interest me much at all. I dunno even what time it was on here, probably some horrifying time in the dead of night.
There is one athlete that I'll be following though, Matthew Mitcham. He surprised everyone in Beijing by winning a gold medal in the diving, against some very strong competition. Not sure but I think it's pretty unusual for Australia to win a gold in diving. Dunno if he can do it again but will be taking a look.
He was also one of the few openly gay athletes in Beijing. Here's the interview done after he won the gold back then. It was a lovely interview with his partner and mother both there.
I've looked it up and his event is happening over the 10th-11th August.
